Project description:This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral administration of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on gene expression in murine ileum. Two LAB strains, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis C59 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, were administered to mice for 2 weeks. Microarray analysis was performed using total RNA from upper and lower ileum to detail the gene expression of 3 groups; control, C59-administered and GG-administered. Gene expression of upper ileum was less affected by administered strains than that of lower ileum and the latter was strain-specifically affected.
Project description:Chicken 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray, including 39854 cDNA and ESTs, entire Marek’s disease virus and avian influenza virus genomes, and 150 chicken microRNAs, was developed. Cecal tonsil, ileum, liver and spleen from 6 chickens were selected for hybridization to validate the microarray performance. There are 2886, 2886, 2660, 358, 3208 3355, and 3710 genes significantly expressed between liver and spleen, spleen and cecal tonsil, cecal tonsil and ileum, liver and cecal tonsil, liver and ileum, spleen and ileum at the P<10-7. Number of tissue specific genes for cecal tonsil, ileum, liver and spleen was 95, 71, 535, and 108, respectively with p < 10-7. More than 95% of spots had high SNR (>10).

Project description:This set features unfiltered, aligned, UMI-based single cell RNA sequencing count data for 5290 Blood, intraepithelial ileum (IEL) and lamina propria ileum (LPL) T cells from Crohn's disease patients as published in Uniken Venema et al, Gastroenterology 2019
Project description:Profiling of ileal mucosal gene expression in Chron's disease patients with and without NOD2 risk alleles; through microarray analyses it was discovered that 18 genes related to lymphocyte and phagocyte activation recuitment were upregulated in affected ileum in NOD2R patients as compared to ileum in NOD2s (no risk alleles) patients, thus supporting the concept that NOD2 risk alleles contribute to impaired regulation of inflammation in the ileum.
Project description:Results of RNA-seq of normal C57BL/6 small intestinal epithelial cells sorted from duodenum, jejunum and ileum separately. Samples are named as follow; mouse replicate number-duodenum(1), jejunum(2) or ileum(3). For example, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 representing duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively from mouse replicate number 1.
Project description:The course of Crohn's disease (CD) is heterogeneous, confounding effective personalized therapy. A previous analysis of differences in gene expression between patients with versus without CD groups revealed 2 subsets of patients with CD -- a group characterized by genes more highly expressed in the colon (colon-like CD) and a group with increased expression of ileum marker genes (ileum-like CD). We compared differences in microRNAs between these groups. We performed genome-wide microRNA profile analyses of colon tissues from 18 adults with CD and 12 adults without CD (controls). We performed principal component analyses to associate levels of microRNAs with CD subtypes. Colonic epithelial cells and lamina propria immune cells were isolated from intestinal tissues and levels of microRNA 31 (miR-31) were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. We validated the differential expression of miR-31 between the subtypes by measuring miR-31 levels in an independent cohort of 32 adult patients with CD and 23 controls. We generated epithelial colonoid cultures from controls and patients with CD, and measured levels of miR-31 in crypts. We performed genome-wide microRNA profile analyses of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colon and ileum biopsies from 76 treatment-naive pediatric patients with CD and 51 controls (234 samples) and collected data on disease features and outcomes. In comparing miRNA expression profiles between 9 patients with colon-like CD and 9 patients with ileum-like CD, we identified 19 miRNAs with significant differences in levels. We observed a 13.5-fold difference in level of miR-31-5p between tissues from patients with colon-like vs. ileum-like CD (Padj = 1.43 x 10-18). Principal component analysis found miR-31 to be the top contributor to the variance observed. Levels of miR-31 were increased 60-fold in tissues from patients with ileum-like CD compared with controls (Padj = 2.59 × 10-51). We validated the differential expression of miR-31 between the subtypes in the independent set of tissues. Colonoids derived from patients with CD had significantly higher levels of miR-31 than colonoids derived from control tissues (day 2 P=.041 and day 6 P=.0095). Levels of miR-31 were significantly increased in colon tissues from pediatric patients with CD compared with controls (~7.8-fold, P=4.64 ×10-7) and in ileum tissues from patients with CD patients vs. controls (~1.5-fold, P=9.97 × 10-7). A high level of miR-31 in index biopsies from pediatric patients with only inflammation and no other complications at time of diagnosis associated with development of fibrostenotic ileal CD. We identified differences in miR-31 levels in colon tissues from adult and pediatric patients with CD compared with controls, and in patients with ileum-like CD compared with colon-like CD. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanisms by which miR-31 might contribute to pathogenesis of this subtype of CD, or affect response to therapy.
Project description:Orally administered drugs are absorbed and metabolized in the intestine. In order to accurately predict pharmacokinetics in the intestine, it is essential to understand the intestinal expression profiles of genes related to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). However, in many previous studies, gene expression analysis in the intestine has been carried out using specimens from cancer patients. In this study, in order to obtain a more accurate gene expression profile, biopsy samples were collected from 14 patients under endoscopic observation and RNA-seq analysis was performed. Gene expression analysis of drug metabolizing enzymes (CYPs), non-CYP enzymes, nuclear receptors, drug conjugating enzymes (UGTs and SULTs), and apical and basolateral drug transporters was performed in biopsy samples from the duodenum, ileum, colon, and rectum. The proportions of the CYPs expressed in the ileum were 25% (CYP3A4), 19% (CYP2C18), and 14% (CYP3A5). CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 were highly expressed in the duodenum and ileum, but not in the colon and rectum. In the ileum, apical transporters such as P-gp, PEPT1, BCRP, MRP2, and ASBT were strongly expressed, and the expression levels of P-gp and ASBT in the ileum were higher than those in other regions. In the ileum, basolateral transporters such as OSTα, OSTβ, and MRP3 were strongly expressed. Furthermore, we identified specific markers for the duodenum, ileum, colon, and rectum by conducting comprehensive gene expression analysis. We succeeded in obtaining gene expression profiles of drug ADME-related genes in vivo human intestinal epithelial cells. We expect that this information would be useful for accurate prediction of the pharmacokinetics of oral drugs.
